Raising seed in a hot sector? don’t get money from late stage VCs
1️⃣ ask how many seeds have they backed? Are they seed tourists because of hype?
2️⃣ they mostly deal with post pmf companies
3️⃣ they’ll expect you to execute vs venture (capital is to venture at seed to find pmf)

Yesterday I gave a lecture at 's CS25 class on Transformers!
The lecture was on how “emergent abilities” are unlocked by scaling up language models. Emergence is one of the most exciting phenomena in large LMs…

If it’s written in PowerPoint is AI, if it’s writing in Python is ML.
If it’s written in PowerPoint is ChatGPT, if it’s written in Python is GPT-3.

If I was a founder with no network, I’d just go to the South Park Blue Bottle and sit there and code.
Odds are that a VC, usually an older looking dude, will come up to talk with you and ask you what you’re building.
The café is packed with investor-founder meetings rn.

Poor man: Wow! Once I got rid of the goat, everything got so much better than before, everyone is happier and more agreeable. It really worked, thank you!
Moral of the story: is the status-quo really as bad as you think it is? Maybe it's time to get a goat?

LLMs are not new, maybe that RL stuff with humans is the loop a bit new? What is innovative IMO is how they packaged their model it into a product that is used by millions. I can't think of a better illustration of scientists not appreciating product engineering work. twitter.com/ylecun/status/…
